Dead Space. I started it about a dozen times but never went through. I just find it boring and uninteresting af.
Elden ring just looks so ugly
Zelda: Ocarina of Time -- I didn't play it until more than a decade after it came out and had zero nostalgia for it. The camera and controls were super clunky and I just couldn't enjoy it. That's actually true of a lot of N64 stuff for me.
Animal Crossing.
Final Fantasy. Haven’t played any of them, and I’m not interested in playing them at all.
I ~~fried~~ tried Kingdom Come: Deliverance and honestly hated everything about it. I didn't enjoy the combat, voice acting, or graphics. I felt like I spent most of the game running (and running and running) to the next quest and it was very boring. On top of all of that, it felt so much like Christian propaganda it made me feel uncomfortable. "Hello random npc" -> "JESUS CHRIST IS YOUR GOD REPENT NOW hello PC would you like to buy some flowers?" -> "um, no thanks, I guess" -> "OK, have a nice day PRAISE JESUS THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS AND THE ONE TRUE GOD". It would have been bearable if the game was good, but it just wasn't.
Stardew is... fine I guess, but there's always something else I'd rather play.
Breath of the Wild. The combat is fun but after that got old I realized there was absolutely nothing about the game I found engaging. The world was sparse and filled with the same enemies everywhere, temples were repetitive, the writing/acting was absolutely atrocious, and many of the mechanics were tedious as fuck. Climbing is tedious, cooking is tedious, gathering is tedious.
I genuinely do not understand why the game is so beloved.
Ocarina of Time. I tested it out some time ago. I'm sure any game with time travel is going to have this as a weakness, but it's just so clunky. The story feels like a weird living childhood daydream sprinkled with what many accuse of being political undertones, and while I technically don't mind the graphics, those particular ones are weird as a glasses-wearer who is using them to fight.
All of this was especially the case during the level where you're inside Jabu-Jabu, which is the whole reason I ever played the game in the first place, as I had to help my friend through the level because of both the headache-inducing squiggly lines (which go with the graphics like a 60-watt bulb goes with a 180-watt lamp and prevented my other friend from helping, he gets vertigo despite his age) and because the parts right before and right after Jabu-Jabu set off her submersion phobia since you're in the country of Ruto. Sometimes the game seemed to know how to crossover into the style of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, which is a neutral statement.
Sekiro. Too hard for me, massive skill issue ik. (And I have beaten Elden Ring and shadow of the erdtree so it's not like I dislike all souls-likes... idk)
Anything made by Riot games. They are just worse versions of already existing games.
Destiny 2. I can't play the whole story so I do not care to start it + yk, microtransactions...
Hollow knight. Same deal as sekiro, skill issue on my part.
Factorio solo. Great fun with friends but I just can't get into playing it solo...
As someone whose friends got me into destiny 2 on launch... even if you played through the story it was meh at best.
I played through the base game and the first major expansion, but the whole gameplay loop just got so boring so fast.
I just do not like Fallout 3 and 4. I played the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the day, but Bethesda really changed things up. The writing in particular suffered.
Try New Vegas baby
Bloodborne. I just can't click with the gameplay. I've tried and tried and tried. I've bounced off of it. Been filtered.
Not the game's fault. It seems fantastic for what it's going for, clearly very finely tuned. I just have never been good at doing these frame perfect 3rd person melee games. I just listen to loads of lore videos on it now.
